Image 1.  Paint lid with mint colored nail polish.

Image 2.  It shows only 1 coated lid.  Apply 2-3 coats so you can get solid coverage and perfect color. 

Image 3.  Cardboard + blue tissue paper.  It's waves!  Place it into the jar first as it's shown (cardboard up). Then, insert a beach girl + sea shells into the jar.

What's Shrink Film?

It's basically thin plastic sheets that shrinks into smaller, thicker, and harder plastic pieces!

 

You will need:

- Permanent markers

- Scissors

- Shrink Film

- Parchment paper

- Cookie sheet

- Conventional or toaster ovens (even an embossing tool works but NOT with microwave ovens)

 

Steps:

1.  Draw on the film.  You can also trace any drawings or pictures.

2.  Cut out your drawings. (**Pre-heat oven between 300-350 F (I baked mine at 285 F))

3.  Place them on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

4.  Bake them for 2-3 minutes until flat or shrinking has stopped.

5.  Have fun with them! - Woo, I made Coli and Georgia (my friends' lovely dogs) badge set! :)
